Who says roses are red?….

When I think of roses I don’t just think of ivory, red or pink any more….these days roses seem to come in all sorts of colors. Shades of yellow,orange and last week I was in the florist shop and she even had purple roses! Â I was surprised to find that the orange roses (yes,orange!) were my favorite that day.

Since it wasn’t a holiday or my birthday or any other special occasion in my household…I couldn’t think of a good reason to spend $50.00 on a dozen orange roses! So as my consolation prize I went home skipped doing the laundry and made a card with orange roses. Â (grin)

This card was made with Layers of Color’s Beautiful Lace set.Â Â Such a pretty set. I used my wonderful Â Spellbinders tagÂ die.Â Tsukineko inks are a must for me, in this case I used Momento Black. This is the best ink if your plan to color with Copics.

WhatÂ makes it special is the lovely, shimmery card stock! This isÂ Cryogen white and it is wonderful esp. with copic markers. And of course you can get it Â at theÂ PaperTemptress store. Â ;D Â But don’t stop with the Cryogen white… you’ll need some of the other great colored and textured papers that the PaperTemptress carries! I used a couple of colors from the Pop Tones line of paper, gumdrop green and tangy orange. Those color names even sound yummy. Â ;D
